Samson said to her, "If you tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that are not dried up, I will become weak like everyone else."

That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a rasor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

And the man Micah had a shrine and he made an ephod and household idols and consecrated one of his sons, that he might become his priest.
